Ark, I became a mobile city, but the moon city

"I want to stay here a little longer... Firstly, to restock my supplies, and secondly, I want to see what this city has to offer."

Texas held out her hand, the Personality Card hidden close to her body. Then, as if caressing the sky, she spoke softly.

Of course, she has a third consideration.

This place in the city... is so far away that it seems difficult to catch up with my past.

Texas finished speaking and turned to look at Lin Yi, only to find that Lin Yi was looking at him with a strange smile on his face. For a moment, Texas was a little confused.

"What's wrong...why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, not really. I just hope your wish comes true."

Lin Yi smiled and didn't answer. But in fact, in his heart, Lin Yi was laughing wildly.

What scenery do you want to see in the city?

I hope you won't regret it when you see people in the city putting people first.jpg

If you look at the scenery in the cesspool of the city, all you will see when you open your eyes is history.

By the way, it will also flow into your mouth and nose, forcing you to be red stone.

Shaking his head, Lin Yi ignored Texas's curiosity for the time being. Curiosity is a good thing.

Besides, the city under his control might not be a perfect replica of the original one... The original city had accumulated countless years of habits, and some of them were impossible to replicate in Lin Yi's opinion. However, some were unavoidable.

Lin Yi no longer thought about it. He just asked Texas to take the bodies of a few scavengers first, and transfer the remaining bodies at once and keep them properly. Then, he returned to the cabin.

As soon as they returned to the cabin, Lin Yi began to teach Texas how to deal with the scavengers. Of course, since he had no real body, he could only give instructions through words, which was quite difficult.

In his current situation, interacting with people was already the limit. If he wanted to interact with the scene, his illusory body would be unable to support it...

While instructing Texas, Lin Yi began to check the rare three-light level item that he had drawn earlier.

Its name is, [Green Dawn·Question Production Formula].

It was extracted from a well during a test conducted by Lobotomy Corporation. It resembles a robot with sharp spikes on its limbs and a rag draped over its body.

But… Lobotomy Corporation's tests all have prototypes. Naturally, the question Lin Yi asked wasn't a real question from Lobotomy Corporation's test. What he obtained was the prototype manufacturing technology for the "Question."

Doubt, it is speculated, was once responsible for the destruction of a city. It is said to be the evolution of AI, ultimately developing into Midnight, the [End Spiral], which destroyed the city. And what Lin Yi obtained was the technology to create Doubt...

Of course, it's impossible to create an AI capable of autonomous evolution. But Lin Yi can also create robots with simple logical abilities. They have combat capabilities and can be controlled by Lin Yi, serving as his moving bodies...

Most importantly, it's cheap.

It only takes 10 madness to create a Doubt robot. Alternatively, simply dropping enough metal parts into a well, or even using a specific factory, can create a large number of Doubts. And, most importantly, all Doubts are under Lin Yi's control.

In other words, Lin Yi now possessed the ability to generate a large number of troops. Even with just a simple thought, Lin Yi could think of a lot of related uses.

What does this technology equal?

You only need to pay a small price to get cannon fodder to fill the line!

He could use Questions to carry out initial suburban cleanup work and expand the scope of human activities; he could also let Questions leave the city and come into contact with the outside Terra civilization, expand the city's influence, and attract more people to the city.

In other words, this technology is Lin Yi's first pot of gold for urban development! It is a crucial step for Lin Yi to carry out normal farming processes!

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel like crying.

The moment he figured this out, Lin Yi used the remaining 10 points of Madness from his card draw without hesitation to create a [Green Dawn·Question]...

Chapter 7: 7 Tribute to the legendary brick-moving king, questions

"By the way...Lin Yi, is this really edible?"

Just when Lin Yi was creating the first question, Texas looked at the roasted scavenger in front of her and couldn't help falling into deep thought. Then, she raised her head and asked Lin Yi.

For some reason, facing this strange dish, Texas always felt as if something was not right...

"Don't worry, anything with its head chopped off can be eaten."

Lin Yi then answered, which made Texas confused.

At the same time, Lin Yi's attention was completely focused on the question he had just created.

The strength of this thing...it is likely to be completely destroyed by the scavenger, but it is cheaper.

Lin Yi thought this as he transformed the previously transferred scavenger corpse into Madness. There were 300 Madness in total, but this time, Lin Yi didn't rush to use Madness to rub the doubt.

Obviously, it is a loss to use madness to resolve doubts.

After all, madness was a precious resource, while doubt could be directly extracted by pouring large amounts of steel into a well.

The consumption of steel can be further reduced through the corresponding factories... but Lin Yi can't do it for the time being.

However, in this case, what Lin Yi is going to do becomes quite obvious.

By manually manipulating this problem, you can obtain as much raw materials as possible, and then use the raw materials to create more problems. In this way, your descendants will be endless. When the number of problems is large enough, you can consider using human wave tactics to clear the surrounding area...

Of course, questions were useful for more than that. Lin Yi needed them to complete the most basic infrastructure, at least to build a few habitable rooms first.

As for the issue of communicating with the outside world, there is no rush for the time being... Lin Yi does not have any urgent problems that need to be solved that require help from the outside world.

So, Lin Yi quickly separated a part of his consciousness and attached it to the question at hand.

Suddenly, Lin Yi's vision shifted. A third-person perspective appeared on his retina, and in the very center of it was the question he had just rubbed out.

It's just like playing a game.

This thought flashed through Lin Yi's mind, and then he began to slowly adapt to the control of this body.

Then, a robot quietly set out from the vicinity of the cabin and began its expedition in a mighty procession...

Although this city is a castrated version, with no wings, no creatures, and no singularities... but at least, there are still many things in the suburbs.

Among the wreckage of various buildings, there is naturally construction waste, such as steel, bricks, wood, stone... As long as you are willing to look for them, you can find a lot of these things.

As for the scavengers, they wouldn't actively seek out a robot that couldn't be used as food. Therefore, as long as one was careful to avoid aggressive creatures that attacked indiscriminately, the overall process of collecting forest clothes was still quite safe.

So, operating the question, Lin Yi found the nearest iron ruins and began to scrape the iron on the wall with the sharp arms of the question.

An hour later, a piece of scrap steel that could be judged as "materials" was finally scraped off.

It's worth noting that Lin Yi's ability to freely transfer items within the city isn't unlimited. Objects that are too large can't be transferred, and neither can living things. Generally speaking, non-living objects under a certain size are considered "supplies," and these supplies fall within the scope of what Lin Yi can transfer.

So, Lin Yi moved the piece of scrap steel into the well without hesitation and threw it in immediately.

It would take about ten minutes for the well to digest the scrap steel and finally reveal a question. But it didn't matter; Lin Yi could afford to wait.

At this time, the Texas barbecue scavenger had burned out. She buried her head in the scavenger's body and ate it silently, while a few thoughts flashed through her mind.

Otherwise... I'll try making soup next time.

You know what, it tastes pretty good. Texas originally thought it would be some kind of dark dish.

"Lin Yi...don't you want to eat?"

"Ah, I don't need that. I'm almost sick of eating scavengers. I'll go hunting alone later."

Lin Yi smiled at Texas, thanking him for his kindness.

Honestly, seeing Texas eating so deliciously, Lin Yi actually wanted to go over and get some...

It’s a pity that he can’t eat anything now.

Damn, what are you eating? Go to work!

Get up and build the city!

Suddenly, Lin Yi turned his grief and anger into strength and resumed his work. But not long after, a second question arose from the well.

So, at this moment, Lin Yi's speed of rubbing questions doubled. After another hour or so, the number of questions doubled again, reaching 4.

Although 4 questions may not be able to beat 1 scavenger, their efficiency is very high.

After all, robots don’t need to eat or rest, and they work overtime like 007 all the time. Capitalists would feel ashamed of themselves when they see such efficiency.

You can say that Doubt's combat effectiveness is poor, but you absolutely cannot say that Doubt's efficiency as Palu is poor!

After having 4 questions, Lin Yi hesitated for a while and temporarily kept 1 question, leaving it near the cabin.

In this way, even if all the questions are destroyed, Lin Yi can rub the questions again without wasting the precious madness.

After that, Lin Yi simply gave instructions and asked the two questionable people to continue scraping steel flowers with their bare hands.

The remaining one went deep into every ruin and removed all the wooden objects in sight, looting everything like a swarm of locusts.

These will be used as building materials later. It will definitely be a good idea to prepare some now.

So, while Texas feasted in the cabin, Lin Yi, with Doubt in mind, went back home to haul the wood. Two hours later, the team of planers had returned to four people. Lin Yi estimated that the wooden furniture they had brought back must have weighed nearly five tons.

Six questions, nearly five tons of wood, and planed steel flowers—these are all Lin Yi's current assets, and they can be considered the "start-up capital" for this dilapidated city.

And all of these were dug out by Doubt with his drill-like hands!

Tribute to the legendary brick-moving king, question.

To be honest, Lin Yi was already imagining the future of Green Noon [the process of understanding]. That thing could transform into a chainsaw, so it must be very efficient...

Compared to Lin Yi who was enjoying this, Texas on the side was so bored that he started sticking personality cards on his body and practicing how to hit people with the butt of a gun.

...You know what, the wood material of this buttstock is pretty good.

Lin Yi was so tempted to smash the gun and remove the wood from the buttstock to use as supplies.

When Lin Yi came back to his senses briefly, he stared at the gun in Texas' hand and couldn't help but think so in his heart.

Texas seemed to feel the gaze staring at him, and he shuddered and looked at Lin Yi, whose eyes were bloodshot.

Lin Yi now seemed to have gone insane from digging for supplies...Whenever he saw things like wood and steel, he wanted to just grab them and use them as his own supplies.

Simply put, it means that we have already taken the lead.

Even the red eye was on.

Being stared at like that, Texas felt completely uncomfortable. After a moment's deliberation, she removed the restrictions on her personality card, raised her head, looked at Lin Yi, and asked:

"By the way...Lin Yi, is there any work you need me to do?"

Chapter 8: 8 Deep in the suburbs, there are terrifying monsters

"So...Lin Yi, is there anything I can help you with?"

Texas pondered for a while, and finally asked Lin Yi this question. When Lin Yi heard this, he instantly became energetic.

You said you wanted to work for me?

I'm not sleepy anymore.

Although it is impossible to make Texas work without paying anything like Question... However, Texas's advantage lies in its strong combat power.

Many things that doubt cannot be done can be done by Texas.

"Hmm... Let me think about it. Anyway, how did you know there was work to do?"

"You've been in this mobile city for half a year. It's impossible that you haven't done anything."

Texas smiled at Lin Yi and said so. Lin Yi also laughed when he heard it.

"That's true... It just so happens that I have a big plan soon. Are you interested in listening?"

Texas changed his posture, showing a willingness to hear more. Seeing this, Lin Yi cleared his throat and began his story.

"I've been in this city for a while now... I'd like to try to do something here. For example, to make some changes to this city. So that more people can live here, so that I won't be the only one..."

As Lin Yi spoke, he looked at Texas solemnly:

"You saw it during the day. Just two steps away from this cabin, the area outside is filled with all sorts of monsters... It's basically an uninhabitable area. I want to try to expand the habitable area. Otherwise, forget about letting more people move in."

"So, do I need to be responsible for clearing out the monsters around here?"

Texas thought for a moment, then asked. Lin Yi smiled with satisfaction.

"You guessed it right, that's exactly it."

"Just clear out the monsters around here, and I'll take care of the rest. Besides, you can also gain Madness in the process of clearing out the monsters, right?"

"It should also be quite beneficial to you."

Lin Yi introduced the income of his job as if to entice people.

Texas had to admit that she was tempted. She pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
